015: We're back with a full conversation with the ever-wise and hilarious Sumer Jimenez, a mother of 4, doula, Reiki practitioner, perinatal yoga instructor, and placenta encapsulation specialist. There are SO many mic-drops, laughs, and pearls of wisdom that you will glean from listening to Sumer and Brittney while they work through some of the trials we face as women, partners, and parents - and how solving those issues begins with educating ourselves so that we can empower others that walk the same path.

Feeling the Pulse on

• What you should look for in a doula
• How Sumer + her husband Hugo began teaching childbirth education classes + how that impacts their students
• Roles as a partner, doula, doctor, and nurse in a hospital birth
• If someone had to choose between childbirth classes, birth doula, and postpartum doula, what should they sign up for?
• Mothering, comparison, social media, and pressure to have sex or exercise after being "cleared" at the "6 week check-up"
• Sex + new parenthood, all the changes and how to communicate your needs
• Asking for help, receiving it, and giving support for new mothers for empowered parenthood + deep healing
• Menstrual cycles + birth as a reclamation and opportunity to honor your body
